Publications

Hopefully, with time a vast library of AR products will be available. At the moment, a variety of Reality Guides, Modular Rule Supplements, and Supporting Products are in development, so look for more stuff to show up here soon. (Check out the AR Project Bulletin Board for a full list; additional material is available in the Prerelease Archive as well.) Currently, the following AR goodies are available:

Note to new players/GMs: A group will need at least one copy of the Primary Reality Guide to play. Getting the Player Pack is strongly recommended, as it contains character sheets, DRF tables, target webs, and other good stuff.

If you don't have Word or a postscript viewer, don't despair! We've assembled a page of links to utilities which should enable you to read our file formats. For the Primary Reality Guide, you can also try the PRG Online.

The Primary Reality Guide

This is the core rulebook of Alternate Realities, and describes the Primary Reality... our own. Available in the following formats:

Version 1.0

Word 6.0 format (and zipped) postscript PRG Online (live HTML) zipped PDF (thanks to Adam Coleman) tarred HTML zipped HTML Palm Pilot DOC

Reality Guides

These sourcebooks each describe an alternate reality. Typically, any given AR game will require one of these:

Chameleon v0.1 (beta)

PDF (normal and low-graphic) and postscript (normal and low-graphic)

More Reality Guides are currently in the works... And you can help!

 

Reality Supplements

Think of these as Extensions to help flesh out specific elements of a given Reality Guide.

Reality Supplements are currently in the works... And you can help!

 

Modular Rule Supplements

The Modular nature of AR rules means that anybody can write new modules to expand or refine the capabilities of the system for specific Realities.

Spiritualism v0.9 (beta)

PDF

 

More Modular Rules Supplements are currently in the works... And you can help!
